Super Jet click,wont start

Next time get a test light, go from ground on battery to the positive post on the starter. Hit the start button. If the light comes on then its getting power to the starter, your problem lies with the starter. If it doesn't light up then its before the starter. Broken wire or relay. If it clicks and theres no power to the starter then its probably a solonoid. If it clicks at all you can rule out start/stop switch and most likely rule out the cdi. I had my positive starter wire rub the couplers and ground out. Just clicked like that too. Just a quick way to chase down the "click" which usually happens in the middle of the water.

Using test lights are a very bad and misleading way of checking problems such as starting problems. All the illuminated (or not) light will do is tell you if power is where you're checking, not how much voltage there is. A bad connection will draw power away from, or not let it through, to where it should be; much the same symptoms as a flat battery.

The test you want to do is a voltage drop test. Make sure you're getting the correct voltage at the correct place.

Plug your buddies in to yours lol. Multi meter on the black connector (I think) between the two leads. Press the start button, should have continuity between the two.
